U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney clears charges against white supremacists, says there's a bias against the far right
In his decision, a judge agreed that the alleged white nationalists were being selectively prosecuted instead of 'far-left extremist groups, such as Antifa.'
You're viewing a single thread.
Sounds like the prosecutors simply need to prosecute crimes equally and this ceases to be an issue.
They are, this judge is just making shit up to justify letting his fellow Nazis get away with their political violence
The defendants literally demonstrated in court there is a political bias in who is prosecuted. Hence, this article.
If you don't want defendants going free, we need to stop unequally charging them.
It's unequal in that they're already more likely to prosecute minorities. Somehow I doubt prosecution of more white people would have changed this judge's mind.
If an individual commits one crime, prosecute them. If a different individual commits seven crimes, prosecute them seven times. That is equal treatment. Scale up to any political or racial group and that is the model that is to be followed.
In this case, certain political groups get prosecuted at lower rates due to their politics. That is a problem that will continue, and people will continue to go free, unless prosecutors treat groups equally regardless of their politics, race, sex, etc.
There seems to be little doubt that Defendants, or at least some members of RAM, engaged in criminal violence.
If an individual commits one crime, prosecute them.
So, he should be prosecuted right?
Before the Internet, I knew there were dumb fucks in this world. I could just never, ever imagine how many of them there are.
Thanks to the Internet, now I know.
They know exactly what they're doing.

Not sure since when it started, but the defendants were able to demonstrate we aren't. Which is something that needs fixing ASAP.
Did they demonstrate it? I don't see any evidence of that.

There's political bias to charge criminals with crime?
